I am running on Gentoo and compiling from ebuilds from this location:

http://files.ged.dynodns.net/slimserver/

Please note that Slimserver works with no problems apart from not being able to play mms streams.

This bug is present on versions 6.1.1, 6.2.0 and 6.2.1 that I have tried.

An example of the many instances:

2006-01-10 21:47:51.9195 [IO::String=GLOB(0x9b322f8)] does not exist or
cannot be read: No such file or directory at
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/Audio/WMA.pm line 30.

The relevent snippet from WMA.pm:

sub new {
my $class = shift;
my $file = shift;

my $self = {};

open(FILE, $file) or do {
warn "[$file] does not exist or cannot be read: $!";
return undef;

A friend of mine has made the following comment about the message:

'Glob' is short for 'Typeglob'.  Cf perldata(1).  References to these
are useful for passing file-handles around.  An IO::String object is a
file-handle that is tied to a string instead of a file (sort of, have a
look at IO::String(3) for details).  What is happening here is that the
calling routine is passing the IO::String object, instead of the string
it contains, to the Audio::WMA constructor.
